Useful web tools

There are, of course, many useful tools available on the web. However this morning I discovered one via Dave Wineberger’s Joho the Blog site that points to a site where you can type in your zip code and locate the gas station in your area with the lowest gas prices. I think this is very cool. There’s a disclaimer on the site that says …

MSN Autos strives to bring you the most up-to-date gas prices possible. However, we do not receive prices every day from every station. Our partner, OPIS, obtains pricing data from participating credit card transactions, direct feeds from participating retail chains, and other survey methods. Please note that during times of extreme price volatility, these collection methods may trail the latest prices at some stations.
